HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1067

The days that followed did not become any easier for Eli.

The gossip about her continued to circulate around campus. The story was almost always the same, only told in slightly different versions. Eli was considered too close to Josh while she was still dating David. Some said Josh was the reason their relationship ended. Others said Eli had deliberately used Josh to make David jealous.

The more people talked about her, the harder it became for Eli to figure out where all those stories had actually come from.

She tried to ignore it.

However, it was difficult to pretend she could not hear when some people deliberately spoke loudly enough as she walked past. Some even looked at her with mocking expressions, as if they already knew something that Eli had never done.

“It’s really exhausting,” Eli murmured one afternoon after leaving the classroom.

She walked alone toward the cafeteria at a slow pace. Since breaking up with David, Eli had indeed been spending more of her time alone. She did not want to meet people too often, especially if she had to face judgmental looks.

After only a few steps, her phone vibrated.

A message came in, and when she looked at it, Natalie’s name appeared on the screen.

Have you heard the latest gossip?

Eli frowned.

Before she could reply, another message came in.

They say you deliberately got close to Josh to make David jealous.

Eli stared at the screen for quite some time.

A few seconds later, Natalie sent another message.

Don’t think about it too much. I’ve already tried to explain to a few people that it isn’t true.

Eli sighed.

Thank you, Nat.

She put her phone back into her bag and continued walking. However, for some reason, this time there was something bothering her.

Natalie.

Again.

Eli stopped for a moment in the middle of the corridor, which was beginning to grow quiet. She stared straight ahead as her thoughts returned to Natalie’s messages from a moment ago. Every time there was new gossip, Natalie was always one of the first people to know about it. Sometimes, even before Eli heard about it from anyone else.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, Eli thought.
